[Spridgets] Fw: Goods Books for a Winter's Storm

[David Booker]

I read lots, most of the time I'm splitting my time between two books at
once.  I also listen to books on CD during my daily commute. I have one
fiction going right now that I'm still not entirely sure I like - but it is
building up to something and was recommended by very attractive friend, so
I'll definitely finish it. The other book I'm reading - re-reading actually -
is Mark Donahue's masterpiece, "The Unfair Advantage". I had a copy years ago
when it was out of print and hard to find. Unfortunately, I loaned it to
somebody who never returned it so have not read it years. I asked for it for
Christmas this year, and my sister got it for me, so I'm devouring it. 

It is
a great read for any gearhead, but should be required reading for anybody who
competes or drives anywhere near the edge with any vehicle. On second thought
- you don't want it to be widely read because then everybody would have the
heightened understanding of vehicle dynamics, engine building theory,
entry/apex/exit dissection, rulebook "interpretation", etc. The biggest thing
I took away from it is how important a strong work ethic is to success. Mark
Donahue simply worked harder for success than anybody else did. 

Seriously -
as drivers of sports cars, this book should be on every one of our
bookshelves. (and no, you can't borrow mine)

I almost never read fiction books.  I thought you guys would
be  sitting by 
a fire side reading 'Costin and Phipps' suspension book and
finding  the 
error in the narrative that Arthur Mallock refers to confirmed
by the  
calculations in the back of the book.  He describes this, If I'm
correct as  'The 
myth that led to the great mistake'.

How biographies of:
Joseph Whitworth, Bessemar, Ricardo, the Wright  
brothers etc
